Hey Ivy do you recall who first mentioned that Peter Limone was the boss? I do not think the Feds ever officially said he was. Was it the Mass State Police? My point is that the only people who claimed he was Boss was the news people in Providence.
Yes, it was the Massachusetts State Police. At least that's what the I-Team reported. But it wasn't clear if they meant Limone had really succeeded Manocchio as the official boss or was just acting boss at the time. Often the media just uses the term "boss" generically and doesn't differentiate.
While it's possible Limone was in either position for a time, he wasn't indicted as such in his gambling case. And even if he was, Anthony DiNunzio later becoming acting boss shows Limone wasn't running things directly by that point. In fact, Rhode Island state police superintendent Col. Steven O'Donnell said DiNunzio had taken over the family from Limone.
